This is a very common technique to try to ascertain, first of all, do you sound like you're slurring your words? Do you know where you are or are you confused? Do you say you're on one highway heading northbound to a particular town, but you're nowhere near that location? If you're worried about sounding confused or impaired, you should not answer the question. In fact, it's not required that you answer a single question from law enforcement. The only thing you should do is give them your driver's license and your proof of insurance. Then at some point, you are permitted to ask, "Am I free to leave?" If they say no, you're not free to leave because they're investigating you for driving while intoxicated or something else, and they're going to keep detaining you.
